UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

ADOLPH RIMANOCZY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE STROBRIDGE LITHOGRAPHING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

ART OF RENDERING PAPER INIMITABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,059, dated September 17, 1889. Application filed April 13, 1889 7 Serial No. 307,166. (No specimens.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADOLPH RIMANOOZY, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing in Cincinnati, county of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Art of Rendering Paper Inimitable, of which the following is a specification.

There is a large and continually-increasing demand for paper which cannot be duplicated by unauthorized parties, for use in printing certificates of stock, bonds, drafts, notes, commercial paper, &c.

The object of my invention is to provide paper of peculiar designs which cannot be successfully duplicated by unauthorized parties. This I accomplish as follows: I take a lithographic plate of stone or other material, apply ink to the face of the plate, place another plate, which may also be a lithographic plate, face to face with the first-named plate, rub the faces of the two plates together for a time, and then take them apart. The ink Will be so distributed by the rubbing action that a variegated design will be produced upon the plate. If this design is not pleasing, the plates are again placed together and the rubbing continued until a satisfactory design is produced. The ink is then allowed to dry and the lithographic plate subjected to the usual treatment for lithographic purposes and the design transferred to the paper in the ADOLPH RIMANOCZY.
